CHAPTER XVII.
THE STORM BREAKS.

And now it was that the trouble which al
first had been but cloud as large as a man:
hand began to loom very black and big upon
our horizon, namely, Sorais preference for
Sir Henry. / saw the storm drawing neare,
and nearer; and so, poor fellow, did he. The
affection of so lovely and highly placed @
woman was not a thing that could In q
general way be considered a calamity by any
man; but, situated as Curtis was, it was a
grievous burden to bear.
To begin with, Nyleptha, though altogether
charming, was, it must be admitted, of q
rather jealous disposition, and was somewhat
apt to visit on her lovers head her indigna.
tion at the marks Of what Alphonse would
have called the distinguished consideration
with which her royal sister favored him.
Then the enforced secrecy Of his relations to
Nyleptha prevented Curtis from taking some
opportunity Of putting q stop, or trying to
put stop, to this false condition Of affairs,
by telling Sorais, in a casual but confidential
way, that he was going to marry her sister.
A third sting in Sir Henry's honey was that
he knew that Good was honestly and sincerely
attached to the ominous looking, but most
attractive, Lady Of the Night. Indeed, poor
Bougwan was wasting himself to shadow
Of his fat and jolly self about her, his face
getting so thin that his eyeglass would
scarcely stick in it; while she, with sort Of
careless coquetry, just gave him encourage
ment enough to keep him going, thinking, no
doubt, that he might be useful as a stalking
horse. tried to give him hint, in as deli
cate q way as could, but he flew into huff
and would not listen to me; so / determined
to let i'll alone, for fear OF making it worse.
Poor Good! he really was very ludicrous in
his distress, and went in for all sorts of alb
surdities, under the belief that he was ad-
vancing his suit. One Of them was the
writing--with the assistance Of one Of the
grave and reverend seigniors who instructed
us, and who, whatever may have been the
measure Of his erudition, did not understand
how to scan line-of a most interminable
Zu-Vendi love song, of which the continually
recurring refrain was something about II
will kiss thee; OBJ yes, will kiss thee!" Now
among the Zu-Vendi it Is common and
most harmless thing for young men TO sere-
made ladies ut night, as believe they do in
the southern countries Of Europe, and sing
all sorts OF nonsensical songs to them.
Awaiting himself Of this custom, Good be-
thought him that he would serenade Sorais,
whose private apartments, together with
those OF her maidens, were exactly opposite
our own, on tho farther side OF narrow
court yard which divided one section OF the
great palace from another. Accordingly,
having armed himself with native either,
on which, being an adept with the light

The difficulty attending a vie and
fair revision of our tariff laws is not I'M
der-estimated. 1t will require on the part
Of the Congress great labor and care,

triotic disregard Of such local and selfish
claims as are unreasonable and reckless

confronts us-not a theory. Relief
from this condition may involve q

which we award our home product ions,
but the entire withdrawal Of such sd-

The question of free trade IL absolutely
irrelevant, and the persistent claim
made In certain quarters, that ell efforts
to relieve the people from unjust and
unnecessary taxation are schemes Of

The message OF the President, which
was sent to Congress to-day takes the
breath out OF official veterans, who
think that such document should be
infinite In length and universal in de-
tail. 1t Is, on the contrary, very short,
very much to the purpose and treats
only one single question of national in
terest. That is, Of course the tariff.
Thus, at least, the issue which the tim
Id have been trying to evade, and the
corrupt To suppress, has arrived at the
front, taking precedence Of all other Is
sues. The politicians can no longer
confuse it. The people can no longer
be cheated. The Democratic party
stands upon its natural lines Of advance
ment and attack, with the banner OF Rev.
enue Reform fully unfurled and its prop
er chief In the saddle.

NECESSARY FOR REVENUE.

II is not proposed to entirely relieve
the country Of this taxation. 1t must
be extensively continued as the source
OF the Government income; aud In a re-
adjustment Of our tariff the interests of
American labor engaged In manufsc-
ture should be earthly considered, as
well as the preservation Of our manu-
facturers. 1t may be called protect ion,
or by any other name, but relief from
the hsrdships aud dangers Of our pres.
ent tariff laws should be devised with
especial precaution against imperiling
the existence ofOur manufacturing in

manded should be 80 measured AZ no
to necessitate orjustify either the los
of employment by the working man
nor the lessening Of his wages; aud the
profits still remaining to the manufac-
turer, after a necessary REIMBURSEMENT

flee Of the interests OF his employees

IN the diminution OF their compeD1

WHERE 1T GOES

Our present tariff laws, the vicious,
inequitabIe, and illogical source Of un-
necessary taxation, ought to be ut once
revised and amended. These laws, as
their primary and plain effect, raise
the price to consumers OF all articles
imported and subject to duty, by pre-
cisely the sum paid for such duties.
Thus the amount Of duty measures the
tax paid by those who purchase for use
these imported articles. Many of these
things, however, are raised or manu-
featured In our own country, aud the
duties now levied upon foreign goods
and products are called protection to
these home manufacturers, because
they render 1t possible for those OF our
people who are manufacturers to make
these taxed articles and sell them at q
price equal to that demanded for the
imported goods that have paid customs
duty. SO 1t happens that while COM
paratively few use the imported arti-
cles, millions Of our people, who never
use aud never saw any of the foreign
products, purchase and use things Of
the same kind made in this country,
and pay therefor nearly or quite the
same enhanced price which the duty
adds to the imported articles. Those
who buy imports pay the duty
charged thereon into the public treas
ury, but the great majority of our citi-
zens. who buy the domestic articles Of
the same class, pay sum at least APP
proximately equal to this duty to the
home manufacturer.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
A few Extracts Upon Salient Points

FUNCTION OF THE TREASURY.
When we consider that the theory oil
our institutions guarantees to every
citizen the full enjoyment of all the
fruits Of his industry and enterprise
with only such deduction as may bt
his share toward the careful and econ.
omical maintenance Of the Govern
ment which protects him, II Is plain
that the exaction Of more than this Il
indefensible -extortion, and culpsbIe
betrayal of American fairness and JUS
tice. This wrong inflicted upon those
who bear the burden OF national taxa
ton, like other wrongs, multiplies q
brood Of evil consequences. The pub
lie Treasury, which should only exist
as a conduit conveying the peoples
tribute to its legitimate objects of ex.
penditure, becomes a boarding place
for money needlessly withdrawn from
trade and the peoples use, thus Grip
pling our national energies, suspending
our country's development, preventing
investment In productive enterprise,
threatening financial disturbance, and
inviting schemes Of public plumber.
THE RESPONSIBILITY.
l have deemed 1t my duty to bring
to the knowledge Of my countrymen, as
we'll as to the attention Of their repre-
sentatives charged with responsible
ty of legislative relief, the gravity OF
our financial situation. The failure of
the Congress heretofore to provide
against the dangers which 1t was quite
evident the very nature OF the difficulty
must necessarily produce, caused con-
dition Of financial distress and appre-
hension since your last adjournment
which taxed to the utmost all the au-
thority and expedients within execu-
tive control, and these appear now to
be exhausted. Ifdisaster results from
the continued inaction of Congress, the
responsibility must rest where II be-
longs. Though the situation, thus far
considered, is fraught with danger
which should be fully realized, and
though II presents features Of wrong to
the people as well as peril to the coun-
try, 1t is but result growing out Of q
perfectly palpable aud apparent cause,
constantly reproducing the same alarm
ing circumstances contested nation
al treasury and depleted monetary con-
dition in the business Of the country.
It need hardly be stated that while the
present situation demands a remedy
We can only be saved from like pre-
dicament in the future by the removal
OF its cause.

HIS DEEP TROUBLE.

A disconsolate- looking negro stood leaning against telegraph pole. His hat lay on the ground, and he had, in abstractedly raking his heel against the curb stone, pulled of one of his shoes. Bootblacks threw mud on him and newsboys shouted at him, but he needed them not. Occasionally he would butt the telegraph pole, in imi- tahen es sn enrsged goal, and then he would mutter in censure of some- thing that seemed to be disturbing him. A benevolent old fellow, a man who wore the perpetual smile of we'll cultivated social hypocrisy, approach cd the negro and said:
 @My dear man, don't butt your head against the pole that way. You will surely hurt yourself"
 Who's doin' dis yere?" the negro replied, giving the white man a siowly-winking look of contempt

THE. DARKEST HOUR.

For period of four years I've been victim
of a very severe and agonizing case of Salt
Rheum, which affected my hands to such an
extent that they almost become burden.
My hand be came raw and horrifying, CONF
polling me tokeep it covered all the time.
I've spent hundreds of dollars for various
preparations, but instead of beneftting my con-
dition, they all seemed to stimulate and en-
courage the progress of the miserable disease,
until had about given up all hope.
But thank heaven, ''the darkest hour is Just
before day." and am rejoiced to know that g,
positive cure has been found, which is known
as B. B. Botanic Blood Balm.
My family all rejoice at its magical curative
powers in giving me relief. My hand has been
cured and resembles a burnt surface after being
healed over, more than anything else. 1t has
also cured my two children OF a loathesome
form of Itch which had resisted all previous
treatment. l refer to any business house in
